What a great evening we've had with the GoodGym Leeds gang tonight.
Compost moving, weeding & laying membrane were the name of the game up at OWLS allotments. There were also discussions about ants, cricket, musicals, football & Carole.
We then headed to Heart for a drink afterwards & discussed Sarah's interview tomorrow at BBC Radio Leeds where she'll be talking all things GoodGym. We can't wait to listen Sarah!

Tonight at GoodGym there was hope in the air about the world cup semi-final....
Before the disappointment of the England game though, we had a great session at Meanwood Valley Farm where we weeded four different areas. Andy, the Head Grower always says what an impact we make in such a short time. These summer sessions have such a great vibe & everyone was on top form.
Welcome to Eliza & Hal tonight, we hope to see you again soon.
Next week, we'll grab those summer drinks after the session. The pubs were far too busy for it tonight.

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money

What a lovely evening! In very humid weather, Helen led us up to Bedford Fields with a bit of Japanese style slow jogging...we got in formation & recreated the craze (& felt like proper wally's).
We met the rest of the gang at Bedford & got to work clearing the stones from the path. We then weeded the edges to finish the job.
We spent a lot of time chatting tonight...it was too hot to work. That's our excuse anyway!
Well done to Rachael on her 105th task tonight.

On a hot hot hot evening, Rachael led the team on a chatty, sweaty jog along the ridge up to Bedford Fields. They weeded, wood chipped & ate gooseberries in the shade.
Thanks to Rachael for leading & to everyone else for turning up in this heat!
Welcome to Christopher who completed his first session.

What an amazing group we had this evening with 9 newcomers all joining us!
We headed to Bedford Fields for lots and lots of weeding! It was lucky we had 22 people, because for an hour, all we did was pull out the sticky weed & bindweed & although we made a good dent in it, there's always more weeding to do.
We found the strangest thing amongst the weeds, a pair of false teeth! Now that's a new one.
Welcome to James, Joanne, Lukas, Emily, Fabiha, Aden, Abi, James & Deepa! And thanks to Erica for bringing more work colleagues! We hope to see you all again soon.
